Comment
Struck in Barcelona for the expedition against TunisiaInteresting fact
The 3 Reales coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Carolus V (1534) and made of silver (.931) has an interesting fact. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to symbolize the Holy Roman Empire. This coin was also known as the "Piece of Eight" and was widely used in trade and commerce, not only in Spain but also in the Spanish colonies in the Americas.
